I did the college thing and now I’m working an entry level job making $17 an hour. I worked part time all through uni while I studied full time. I’m a mature student because I was pursuing a music career before uni but that left me burnt out and caused a lot of mental health problems. My partner and I are now buying a house and now I feel like I’m trapped working this job because we need the money to pay the mortgage and bills. I just want a job that pays a living wage, where I can put money away each month, take a vacation here and there and not be stressed about money. I would like to go back to school for my masters but that’s another $30k+ and I want kids before I’m like 32. Idk, it just all feels too much. A college degree doesn’t promise you anything.
